I thought I had gotten a ticket. This makes me sad.

If you're on a Mac, it's:

sudo ipfw add reject src-ip 173.194.55.0/24 in

sudo ipfw add reject src-ip 206.111.0.0/16 in


Thanks!


Cool idea! Few things about the website:

* The navbar on https://www.bitspend.net/order.html isn't consistent with the rest of the site. It's missing the "Order Now" link.

* I want to click your logo to go to the home page.

* You're using the Bootstrap default favicon

* Is the business's name Bitspend or BitSpend? Both appear on the site.

* The links on the bottom of the main page don't go anywhere.

* The text in the jumbotron/masthead is misleading. The item isn't shipped directly to the consumer.

* "Unlimit Your Bitcoins" sounds a bit awkward. What about "Unleash Your Bitcoins"?


My understanding of the business is that the item IS shipped directly to the consumer. I send them X bitcoins (plus a $2 fee), and a link to amazon.com item, and they buy it for me using their credit card, and Amazon ships it to me not them.

You think the item goes to them first?


It says it goes to their warehouse first for "relabeling", then sent to you, "so you can shop anonymously".

It probably also has the benefit of not triggering merchant anti-fraud mechanisms for shipping to all manner of different addresses.


There's two types of packages:

- Standard Order, $2 flat fee

- Anonymous Order, 5% fee


I learned the command line by using the command line. When I switched to Arch Linux, using bash was inevitable. It took many Google queries and reading many man pages to finally become comfortable in it.


Explosions in the Sky is fantastic for getting things done. I've written some of my best code to their music.

http://open.spotify.com/track/5uWzSBJKqdSKJ3uMrYYUIT is one of my favorite songs by them.

The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place is my favorite album from them. http://open.spotify.com/album/1JU4XTyTzADBQE1KpM0Wtx


What determined the outcome of your service was the convenience factor. To use it, the user needs to select the information, go to your webpage, and then submit it. It's too much work for the user.

OP's program removes 1/3rd of the steps, making it much easier for the user.


I'd recommend adding an email to your profile so we can contact you.


My bad. I didn't see it on HN previously. I'll make sure to double check next time.


Yeah, I'm having the issue on Chrome 27.0.1425.0 dev on Mac OS X Mountain Lion. It's quite annoying.


someone enterprising broke the page layout with a long string of U+2006 (six-per-em space) characters.

Is it a bad sign when page-widening spam makes you nostalgic?

(Ah, Slashdot circa late 1990s! What a time to be alive!)
